Twelve knitted (or crocheted) items started and completed in 2011.
Overambitious? Yes. Achievable? I’d also say yes. With luck and a following wind, obviously!
My additional challenge is that all the items have to be knit with stash yarn – not a problem!

Top to Bottom, L to R: owls, Radiate, Kerrera, Charlie, Houndstooth mittens, Serpentine socks, Classic Lines, Tudor Stole, Cloud Chaser, Progressive Sock Party, Corelli, Shoru
Want to see my list? Of course you do! (Non-Ravelry links provided where possible but those only on Ravelry denoted with an R)

Oh, how exciting!! I love the variety, you shouldn’t e bored. I am hoping t use wool I already have this year too. I have A Lot. The Cloud Chaser looks nice and the colours are so nice,. I shall not laugh.
Good luck with that challenge. A lovely mix of projects.
I’m sure you’ll do it.
I love that you have planned it all out down to the yarn & pattern! Awesome!
I tend to just go all willy-nilly & with whatever strikes me at the time. LOL
You can do it, if anyone can. I’ll be glad if I can churn out a couple pairs of socks and get these projects that are staring at me started =)
I’m going to try to do this, too. Probably won’t get my list up right away, but I’m going to work on it today and tomorrow! I like your plan of pairing the yarn and the patterns, too!
wow! you are going to make some fab stuff there. I’ll watch your progress with interest.
My approach will continue to be to make what I fancy, when I fancy! Randomness- I haz it!
Thanks for the encouragement – I may need it! I decided to organise everything so I wouldn’t get to June and totally forget what I was doing.
That’s the plan, anyway!
“Make it so Captain Amy” ….I’m tugging my jacket down over my stomach and pointing to the final frontier!!!!
Looking forward to seeing your progress on that cardigan.
That looks like my place if you add in an extra cat. I love the sprinkle liberally with cats idea. Duane, however, would not.
BTW, when my children were home, I had 9 cats.
